Could I have details on using a foam ear plug, or other suggestions to get the plastic ear plug fitted correctly? Getting wind sounds.

the ear plug comes with 3 different plugs. the middle size fits perfect for me. no wind noise. they are also comfortable to wear with no problem for comfort. hope this helps for your purchase.

Since it amplifes sound and is not an actual hearing aid it amplifes all sound including wind sound. This can sometimes make it worse than not using it.

This hearing aid has too much blast (volume) and not enough quality (sound.) 40db in such a set-up will result in feedback buzzing. Try turning it way down. But the real answer is to buy a better product. I went with the 350 dollar one from LifeEar, which works great, uses 25db though sounds way better, and with zero feedback. Also batteries last a week of continual use, where as the super ear one batteries need changing every day.

I have also had this issue and I think the part of the rubber casing that covers the microphone muffles the sound. I actually have got in the habit of pulling that part open to talk! It's kind of a pain - I might cut it off!

No. You are suppose to push them in the ear canal until you get a good fit. I did not find the Peltor ear plugs to be and different or effective than foam plugs.

I'm always being woken up by my neighbors too. Before I go to sleep I put in foam earplugs plus I put on headphones and play soothing music. My headphones were only $30 (not noise cancelling) and I kind of wish I had just shelled out the extra money to buy a some with noise cancelling.

I'd like to know the same. It happened to me exactly you described and my headphone only plays on one side and it's very disturbing to have to fixed it every other stroke. If you find that out let me know. Tks Claudia

When I got mine, the buds that were on it fit well for me! They supplied with my ear buds a good selection of them ! Every set of ear buds that i have had were smaller and after time came loose! What I do to secure them better is moisten the buds and put my thumb on the rubber part on the casing that indicates right or left and wiggle them so they seat well! Movement of your head and the cord catching on something can cause the problem to I still have to adjust them here and there! I really don't think about it much! I just enjoy them . I hope this helps!!

I used a hair dryer to soften the plastic and reshaped them a little. It worked but no matter what after a while they still get uncomfortable. So I switch from these to ear buds.

The in ear design works perfectly for it. It is liked wearing ear-plugs. Another example is like, you are in the car with windows rolled up and the mowers noise becomes low sounding humps...you will love it. keep the plug clean with peroxide ($1 bottle) at Rx stores.

I have to second Joe M's answer. The most effective noise reduction solution is a set of cheap foam ear plugs.

The instructions on the package helped me the most. Roll it between your fingers lightly at first, as it gets more narrow increase the pressure as you roll. Once it is rolled pretty narrow hold the top of your ear and pull it up as you slide the ear plug in. I kinda turn the ear plug and insert at the same time. Leave enough outside the ear to grip it so you can pull it out. Hope this helps.

Although it probably depends on the helmet, I can get to controls with the 2 helmets I own. I prefer the controls near my ears as they are with my old motorola headset but for $12 I can live with this :)Regarding complaints about sound quality, I was able to improve this significantly by using better fitting earbud covers than those supplied which we're quite small. Again, what do you expect for $12??

Having the same problem but that's the difference between an ear bud and a full headset. The weight of the unit is pulling the unit down against the ears causing the discomfort.For the price, one would like a little more comfort. I tried this...along with the ear hooks, I attached a small lanyard to the unit and then put that around my neck to pick up some of the weight of the unit.Pressure relief about 60%. Helps when watching long period movies.Good luck

Any way of getting say leather type ear pads for this head-set? Foam no matter how careful you are wears out fast, and this head-set hurts your ears and head once the foam padding begins to wear ....Thanks in advance. :)

No actually thats how I would wear them before and never noticed a problem with sound.but to answer your question, no issues on how you wear them. Foam buds worked better for my ears. I ended sending them to inearcentral and turned them into personal inear monitors. I recommend you try it. worth the $150 the 3 drivers on this set are great for monitors.

this may be a newer model than mine since it doesn't have the foam padding and I'm not sure about the noise reduction capabilities other than the fact that it is a full ear-cup design and would reduce noise by covering the ears rather than being stuck into the ears, like "earbuds". I hope you have better luck than I did. I had to get four of them in order to have two working ones and one of them isn't perfect.
